It was mid-July outside the secret realm, and summer had already entered. Although the seasonal changes in the Lion's Mane Mountain secret realm were different from those in the outside world, the weather seemed to have become hotter.
Outside the Xuantian Sword Sect's frontline camp, a group of monks in white sword robes were on patrol outside the camp.
"call……"
The leading Xuantian Sword Sect disciple covered his eyes with one hand and glanced at the sun. He thought that the weather was really hot, but he finally felt better when he thought that they would be able to leave the secret realm and return to the sect soon.
The third secret realm expansion organized by the five major sects of Dongyi came to an end more than a month ago. From start to finish, it lasted a total of eight months. The monks from many small sects and small forces were sent home one after another, and the Xuantian Sword Sect disciples who stayed in the secret realm were also notified that they could return to the sect around October this year.
According to the information received by the leading disciples, the overall situation of this secret realm expansion is not very good. On the one hand, the high-level monks of the five major sects suffered heavy losses in the Great Deep Valley, among which the Zhenyuan Sect occupying Fengzhou suffered the most. On the other hand, after I heard that the information about the secret realm of Lion's Mane Mountain spread to the south of Dongyi, it aroused the interest of a large number of monks in the Zhennan area. Among them, there were even large sects with the same size as the five major sects of Dongyi. . It is said that the reason why the five major sects of Dongyi organized the third secret realm exploration in such a hurry was to gain more profits from the secret realm before the southern monks came.
As for the result, the leading disciple honestly didn't care too much. He had been in this secret realm for more than a year, and all he wanted to do now was to return to the sect and have a good rest.
At this time, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a few black spots appearing on the far horizon. He couldn't help but frown, waved his hand and shouted: "There is a situation ahead, everyone, be prepared!"
After saying that, he unsheathed his sword and directed all his disciples to form a defensive formation.
The black spots gradually became clear, and they turned out to be three monks, one male and two female. Among them, the female flying at the end had reached the foundation-building stage. Behind the three of them, there were several demon birds with different levels of cultivation, including The largest one probably has the cultivation level of the blood refining stage.
"Monk...?" The leading disciple frowned and murmured, then turned to one of the disciples in the team and ordered: "Go and report the situation. The rest of you, follow me!"
Although the three people flying in front were wearing mixed clothes and were obviously not monks from their Xuantian Sword Sect, they were all human beings. This did not prevent the leading disciple from taking action to save the other party.
Following his order, a group of Xuantian Sword Sect disciples formed a cone-shaped offensive formation, headed by the leading disciple, to meet the three monks flying towards them.
And these three monks, two men and two women, are naturally Li Qingfeng, Li Qingqing and Liu Yunshu.
Although Liu Yunshu had broken through to the foundation building stage, since there were only three of them, the three of them were extremely cautious on the way back, preferring to spend more time to ensure safety. As for this group of monster birds, it is really impossible to avoid them. Li Qingfeng believes that instead of going around in a big circle to avoid them, it is better to go directly to the camp. After all, there must be monks above the elixir formation stage in the camp to deal with this group. Monsters are not difficult at all.
"Fairy Liu, we are with them!"
Seeing the group of Xuantian Sword Sect disciples approaching, Li Qingfeng frowned slightly. Among this group of Xuantian Sword Sect disciples, only the two leading ones were in the Foundation Establishment stage. If anyone was injured by this blood refining stage demon bird or If you kill him, you will be angry at the three of you if you don't even think about it.
Liu Yunshu understood what he meant and didn't respond. The three of them went straight towards the Xuantian Sword Sect monk who came to help, preparing to turn around and fight together. But at this moment, they heard the leading Foundation Establishment monk Gao He shouted: "Get out of the way and go straight over!"
After hearing what he said, Liu Yunshu was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Qingfeng, and saw that he nodded towards her, gritted his teeth and ran past everyone, leaving behind a word of thanks: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help!"
The leading monk ignored her and stared at the attacking demon bird. He stroked his sword with his left hand and shouted: "Demon beast, suffer death!"
After drinking, he slashed down with his sword, and the monks around him also took action. They were worthy of being disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect. They cooperated skillfully and had clear goals. It didn't take long to kill all the demon birds with lower cultivation levels, leaving them alone. One person was injured. The demon bird in the blood refining stage was held back by two monks in the foundation building stage. You hit me with a sword and I hit you with a sword, making the demon bird howl and howl, but there was nothing you could do to break through the siege of the two, so you had to watch helplessly. The others of the same species were cut off one by one.
After wiping out all the other demonic birds, a group of Xuantian Sword Sect disciples freed up their hands and formed a formation to surround the blood refining period demonic bird. With two foundation-building monks as the core, they launched attacks in waves. Although the method was simple, it was quite effective. Each time, they were able to leave more or less scars on the monster bird.
As the saying goes, ants kill elephants, not to mention these monks are not ants. Soon, the body of the demon bird in the blood refining stage was covered with deep and shallow scars, and except for two monks of Xuantian Sword Sect, Except for the injured disciple who was withdrawn, there were no other casualties.
In this form, even though the demon bird's intelligence has not yet been activated, it still felt something bad. It screamed loudly, and the demonic power in its body suddenly surged, forming a gap in front of its pointed beak. The tip of the spiral shape, then, it gave up defense except for the vital parts, and was slashed on the back by the leading Foundation Establishment disciple's sword, and fled straight in the direction from where it came.
"Don't chase him. Go and clean up the body. Junior Brother Liu will come with me."
The leading Xuantian Sword Sect disciple cleaned the long sword and put it into the sheath. Without looking at the demon bird, he ordered the monks in the team to clean the battlefield. Together with another Foundation Establishment monk, he flew towards Li Qingfeng and others who were coming up. people.
"Who are you and why are you here?" He looked at Liu Yunshu and asked.
"I am Liu Yunshu of the Jinding Sect. I belong to the 13th team of the Secret Realm Development Map Group. I was hunted by the blood refining period demon beast during the mission. I have not returned until now." Liu Yunshu bowed her hand to him, and then glanced at Li Qingfeng and Li Qingfeng. He continued: "These two people are in my team, they are called Li Qingfeng and Li Qingqing respectively."
"Secret Realm Development Team?" After listening to Liu Yunshu's words, the leading monk nodded slightly and said to his companions: "Junior Brother Liu, take them to confirm. If they are correct, take them to rest."
"Okay," the monk surnamed Liu nodded, looked Liu Yunshu up and down, and said, "Follow me closely."
"Thank you two fellow Taoists." Liu Yunshu cupped his hands, and Li Qingfeng and Li Qingfeng also bowed their hands in salute. Then, the three of them followed the monk surnamed Liu and entered the frontline camp.
